So this had a really strong start! It was interesting thought provoking and honesty you can tell something was up with the bff. But as it goes on, it really drops especially towards the end. After 3 years of abuse and s/a from these boys the ending basically promotes ideals that these men are victims too when most of them aren’t. The first chapter we literally see a guy breaking his weapon and directly putting a girl in the hospital. Everyone all gets forgiven and it’s a happy ending. I loved the main couple- but we should have saw more development rather than rushing it all through the end- I understand that was the point of the “fairy tail” plot but I was expecting more.
The Isle of 100 Kills
School students mistakenly find themselves stuck in a survival game. Like squid game mixed with Alice in borderland.
Dengeki Daisy
FL's brother leaves her a phone to contact ML so he can be there for her after his death. If you take out the fact that the FL is underaged and the ML is an adult and focus on the story telling, characterization, character development and side characters, you will find that this manga is actually pretty interesting and well- written. I really wanted to enjoy this more, but the pedo age gap just really isn't for me.
